Morning Everybody, Not sure where to go right now with this. The 75hp just doesnt keep me happy, I am considering selling this and getting a newer 182, Am i being silly? I genuinly just miss the power, and while this car is nippy and fun it just lacks on the engine side. The thing that makes...

either draw and cut, or let the exhaust make the hole :P

A couple of pics of before and after the clean :P

Something along those lines would be nice, but Ide be looking around £300 tops in reality This could be the way to go, Coilovers appealed more with being adjustable, Might look into springs though, it would be cheaper but probably at the expense of my arse cheeks. At least until prices drop...

Further update to the above, 100w bulbs are utter w**k. I should have known really not to expect much, however I do suspect they were designed for a HID kit. They actually faded, and against oncoming traffic on back roads it was almost like having no lights. anyway lesson learnt I have gone and...

Its been a while! not much has happened with the car, stands pretty much the same as above, its sporting the rally look at the moment though, desperately needing a clean! I did get some super bright 100w lights though! makes me realise how yellow the standard bulbs are! there amazing, bright...

There is loads of decent enough spec'd laptops about for nearer £300 on windows 7 that will deal with everything, ebay deals? My laptop is a Acer 8920G cost £215 (won it on ebay at 3am :D)

they are more readily availiable, I was just trying to open up my options, I had thought about the Meg lump but whats the engine code?

I am looking to upgrade the engine in my 1.2, ideally to a 2.0l are the old 172/182's able to be dropped in? I could just sell up and get a RS, but what would be the fun in that :)

Just a picture of how the car stands today :)

If im honest its purely because Im skint after getting married, the things I am doing dont cost much if anything, plus I see things and think to myself "I wonder what that would look like" Next thing I am going to look at is wrapping the bumper plastics in gloss black

I have very little knowledge but have you checked your fuses? ignition fuse?

Been messing about with some vinyl again, this time fret cut letters! I work with this sort of stuff and we chuck tones more of it. Made "clio" out of some old letter Then I stuck it on a wheel! What words could I make to stick in other places? Hmm

I like it a lot, sort of the look I was going for, I think your right about cleaning it, would make a world of difference. I have had a look at other black cars and black wheels are the only ones I like. I could do with getting my hands on some springs though and get it dropped a bit.

Might clash a little? I was thinking about putting maybe some vinyl on the wheels though

Yellow could work, would be a bit like the vauxhall adam. I might try it this weekend I ain't one of these that will be forced into doing what others prefer, my car, my looks :) sure they'll be haters but at least I know I like it. The wheels didn't come up half as good as I had hoped, there...

we got loads of black so that would be easy but also pointless as it is dark grey already lol

Oo, if you dont mind, what is it that you found funny, the fact its wrapped or the colour? I quite liked it, mainly because its different i think, I haven't made my mind up what colour I want it to be that is just the vinyl we had kicking about :/

There's loads of these kicking about near me bit further up the M62 towards hull, strangely near the Renault garage in howden, I always thought of them as old people cars but after seeing them about I know they aint!

Bit of an update, I finished the wheels and tried wrapping some interior parts, bit rough but not too bad for a first attempt. Pictures don't do the wheels justice

Welcome :) what issues are you having?

Best: 55mpg Worst: 75bhp

it had the following issues, 1) petrol on red light 2) tyres only at 23psi 3) 1/4 dustcaps missing 4) no screenwash remaining

Probably doesnt help but I used to have a Saxo VTS, cost me £800ish for the year to insure, having 2years no claims at 22, when I went to change to the clio 1.2 my premium went up to £950 for the year! however when I came to renewal it was Tesco (direct including clubcard discount) that was the...

are you sure? I have read about harsh vibration and premature wear on the bolts. and found this.. http://www.autoinparts.com/Wheel_Bore_Size:_67.1mm_Wheel_Make:_BSA,_ASA,_ATP,_CMS,_AR_CASTING/c902/p103911/Renault_60.1mm_%C3%98_Spigot_rings/product_info.html is it worth getting or just a waste...

how do you change the lights?

If anyone reads my progress posts they will know that I have just resprayed my wheels, however I think I may have a problem... when I got the wheels they came with little plastic bits that fitted in the centre of the wheel and this fitted it to the hub, I have lost these (I think they have...

Going to wait a couple of days just to ensure that the paint has fully set then try polish them to make them smoother, not entirely sure what to use to do it though?

Finally got round to painting the wheels :) What you think

anyone got any ideas on this, its locked me in my car a few times and I have to unlock the central locking from inside to get out!
